Magnesium alloy is an alloy composed of magnesium and other elements. The characteristics of Magnesium alloy plate are: low density (about 1.8g/cm3 magnesium alloy), high specific strength, large elastic modulus, good shock absorption, greater impact load capacity than aluminum alloy, and good corrosion resistance to organic matter and alkali . Let's learn the features and uses of Magnesium alloy plate today.

Magnesium-aluminum alloys are currently the most widely used, followed by magnesium-manganese alloys and magnesium-zinc-zirconium alloys. Mainly used in aviation, aerospace, transportation, chemical industry, rocket and other industrial sectors. It is the lightest metal among the practical metals. The specific gravity of magnesium is about 2/3 of that of aluminum and 1/4 of that of iron. It is the lightest metal among practical metals, with high strength and high rigidity.
The application parts of Magnesium alloy plate in automobiles can be classified into 2 categories.
1. Shell type. Such as clutch housing, valve cover, instrument panel, gearbox body, crankcase, engine front cover, cylinder head, air conditioner shell, etc.
2. Brackets. Such as steering wheel, steering bracket, brake bracket, seat frame, mirror bracket, distribution bracket, etc.
Application on digital SLR cameras
Magnesium alloy plate has a certain anti-corrosion performance due to its low density and high strength, and is often used as the skeleton of a SLR camera. Generally, mid-to-high-end and professional digital SLR cameras use magnesium alloy as the frame to make them durable and feel good.
